Publisher's Synopsis
Since 1986, Mark Manders has been working on what he calls 'Self-Portrait as a Building'. His oeuvre - consisting of installations, sculptures, work on paper and drawings - resembles a fictional building, divided into separate rooms and levels, of which the size and shape can never exactly be determined. Potential shifts and extensions constantly threaten the cohesion of the ever-expanding self-portrait. Manders works toward one big overarching moment that will bring together all his works, continuously interconnected and in dialogue with each other. There is no beginning or end.
